National Food Hub Survey

Food hubs are businesses or organizations that manage the aggregation, distribution and marketing of source-identified food products. They are an essential component of scaling up local food systems and a flagship model of socially conscious business.

In 2013, 2015, and 2017, the Center for Regional Food Systems and the Wallace Center at Winrock International conducted the National Food Hub Survey to identify economic growth trends for food hubs across the nation and monitor changes in services offered and the variety of customers served.

These surveys:

help shape national understanding of food hubs and inform policy and program initiatives,

gain greater exposure for food hubs nationally, and

inform new potential relationships between food hubs and investors, grant makers and other food hubs looking to find success.
